- Martyr (new 2016) | 2pac
The song was primarily popularized by the YouTube channel (and similar curators like Tupac Thug Theory). In the mid-2010s, these producers began blending 2Pac’s classic acapellas with modern "Phonk" or "Trap" beats—characterized by heavy bass, dark atmospheric synths, and cowbell melodies.
The vocals used in "Martyr" are sourced from 2Pac's existing catalog, specifically from his verses in the song (from the 2006 posthumous album Pac's Life ). Theme and Content
: The lyrics deal with themes of isolation, the pressure of fame, and the constant threat of death ("I can't sleep, 'cause I'm paranoid").
